Hi,
I have just used my first tank of fuel and the inbuilt mpg calculator in the instrument cluster read 45.5 mpg.
Not too bad I thought, as I am still getting used to the car and had let the car idle for long periods while I checked the engine temperature and played with the Satnav.
However when I checked the brim to brim calculation it was 49.27mpg! a pleasent surprise. (55.54 litres and 602 miles)
Most dashboard mpg figures I have come across read the other way i.e. more mpg than the true reading.
Is this normal or do they all vary, and do you consider my true reading as average for this car?
Pete.
